Anecdotal Evidence

[abaris]

So I would like for anyone interested: to clarify, what they mean by anecdotal evidence, particularly in regard to use in reference to Christianity.

Try telling your neighbour about a certain event in you life. Remarkable or non remarkable. Ask him to tell others what you experienced. Let it circulate for a period of time, but make sure it comes back to you. And then compare it to your original experience and narrative.

That's anecdotal evidence.

In the case of christianity or any other religion for that matter, it's even more complicated. Times where different, cultures were different and what people were willing to believe was very different as compared to today.
